Direct hiring

Talk to candidates yourself. No middle layer adding latency to every message.

Optional success fee

Subscription + contact credits as the base, success fee only if you choose.

Match score replaces a recruiter shortlist — but you stay in control of the pipeline.

Frequently asked questions

Do you take a percentage of salary?

Only if you opt into the success-fee model. Otherwise you pay a flat subscription plus contact credits.

Is it really direct?

Yes. There is no human recruiter screen between you and the candidate — you message them directly inside the platform.

What about candidate quality?

Candidates are pre-ranked by match score. The strongest fits appear first instead of being lost in an inbox.
